Possibly because my first experience with computer chess
was with CM, I always took it for granted that the user
should be able to specify the level of the machine.
Therefore I introduced an option to influence the time
the computer thinks in my own chess program Queen, which
you can download for free from my website below.
If you do, you should take the GUI version Queen,
not the WinBoard version wbQueen.
